Connecting to the FLEX™ Power Base
NOTE: All references to the left or right side are from
the operator’s position. Any exceptions will be noted.
1. Roll the FLEX™ Power Base over to the water
pump attachment with the kickstand UP.
See Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2
2. Roll the FLEX™ Power Base forward and tip it
up, engaging the top part of the water pump
attachment with the handle mount provided
on the FLEX™ Power Base (1 of Figure 4-3).
3. Tip the FLEX™ Power Base backwards to
engage the two bottom connection points
(2 and 3 of Figure 4-3).
Note: The operator will be able to hear the
lower mounts engage and lock (latching
sound) when coupled properly. To test if
coupled properly, lift up on the handles. If
the unit comes apart, the connection was
not made. Ensure that the kickstand is still

Disconnecting from the FLEX™ Power Base
1. The kickstand acts only as a locking device
for the attachment to the FLEX™ Power Base.
The only time the operator would need
to deploy the kickstand once connected
to an attachment would be in the case of
uncoupling the FLEX™ Power Base from the
attachment.
CAUTION! When the FLEX™ Water
Pump attachment is attached to
the FLEX™ Power Base, the engine
should be started after the water
pump has been primed. We do not
recommend running the pump dry.
